About



I'm a Seattle-based multi-disciplinary artist aiming to use sound, music, visual media, and sculpture to enhance personal and public environments. Originally from Hungary, I immigrated to the US and have traveled extensively, imbibing the art, music and culture of many countries. My artistic works reflect this broad global experience and I strive to engage the community in respect for fellow humans, animals and our Earth.


Music is a very big part of my life and I have produced several releases and remixes. I've performed live extensively and have also DJ-ed at various venues. My collaborations with Grammy-Nominated artists Henta and David Miles Huber have garnered credits on their albums “Laserium for the Soul” and “Colabs”, respectively. My several film and video soundtrack credits point to my love of synthesizing the sonic and visual.


My interest in the visual started with painting and photography but quickly progressed toward video art and production where I was able to tell a story through the moving image. Fast forward a few decades and I find myself bringing sculptural objects to life with the use of video projection mapping. This is my current artistic focus as I see this work as an ultimate form of expression which incorporates all of my interests.


In addition to the deep involvement in music and video, I also design re-purposed material sculptures and lightsculptures which have integrated LEDs and Video. My sculpture company Lunaglow is dedicated to sustainable and unique modern sculpture.


My formal education came from State University of New York with a BA in Sociology and Video. I've also earned a certificate of Audio Production, Sound for Film/Video concentration, from the University of Washington. I have also studied Industrial Hemp Technology via Oregon State University. A lot of my current skills in the realm of video projection mapping, LED lighting and sculpture fabrication have been self-taught through research and experimentation.
